This morning, at about 05:00, Russian troops launched another missile attack on the capital of Ukraine, using ballistic missiles. This is the third ballistic missile attack on Kyiv in August, and the enemy is keeping a 6-day interval between each attack, KCMA reported, according to UNN

Details [1

According to preliminary data, the nature of the attack was similar to previous attacks. It is likely that for the third time in a row, the enemy used North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles. However, as in previous cases, Ukraine's air defense forces successfully stopped these missiles on approach to Kyiv.

In addition, almost simultaneously with the missiles, several enemy attack drones were moving towards Kyiv. However, thanks to the prompt actions of our air defense soldiers, all the drones were destroyed far outside the city without causing any damage to the capital.

At the moment, no destruction has been recorded in Kyiv, and no information on casualties has been received. The situation is being updated.
